Many terminal apps don't properly display multibyte emoji characters
properly. This **may** fix the issue for you in iTerm2, it also may not.
By default iTerm2 uses a unicode rendering format
that is not comletely compatible with some emoji characters. Instead what you'll
see is the emoji over-lapping normal text characters, or drawing outside
the bounds of where they should be.
In iTerm2 open:
```bash
Preferences -> Profiles -> Text
```
and check **on** the "Use Unicode Version 9 Widths" checkbox. Then
restart WTF.

(*Note:* This issue is not unique to iTerm2. As of this writing it also
affects <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_(macOS)">Terminal</a>, and <a href="https://hyper.is">Hyper</a>.)
